The Small Metal Collection
 
Saturday, November 1st
9:00 AM to Noon

The intent of the small metal collection program was to allow residents with small metal items, such as coffee pots, pots and pans and items of similar size, the opportunity to recycle those items instead of disposing of them with their regular refuse. Only Items that can fit inside in a town-issued blue recycling bin, or a bin of similar size, will be accepted. The contents of the bin cannot weigh more than 60 pounds.

Please contact the Department of Public Works at 561-8100 for additional information. Please note items listed on the bulk metal collection <http://www.west-hartford.com/bulkywaste/AcceptedMetalItems.asp > > web page requiring a collection permit are no longer be accepted at the small metal collections.

Thank you for your environmental concern - and REMEMBER TO REDUCE, REUSE, AND RECYCLE; it's a first step towards a more sustainable world.
